[quote=Anonymous]Where are you commuting to? That makes a huge difference. Lafayette is better if the commute is to Oakland or San Francisco, but Danville wins if it's to Silicon Valley. What kind of place are you looking to live? Lafayette is a mix of suburbs and a few more rural areas. Danville is mostly suburbs, (a bit) wealthier, and politically more conservative (though you're still in California!) Lafayette tends to be more expensive because of the proximity to BART (and it's closer to job centers in Oakland/Berkeley and Walnut Creek). Schools in both places are generally strong throughout. No idea what $1.3M gets you there these days but certainly more than in the closer-in areas with strong schools (Piedmont, Albany, Fremont, etc.) If you're hoping to see the friends in Oakland and Berkeley regularly, my anecdotal experience is that you'll be far more likely to do so if you choose Lafayette. Alamo/Danville feels incredibly far from the inner East Bay, for some reason.[/quote]
